-Here the factory `newIntSeqBuf` uses an anonymous class implementation of `IntSeqBuf` (i.e. `new IntSeqBuffer`) to set the abstract type `T` to the concrete type `List[Int]`.

 It is also possible to turn abstract type members into type parameters of classes and vice versa. Here is a version of the code above which only uses type parameters:
